Our Risen Savior
Stephen Whitney
Matthew 28:1-6 and I Peter 1:3-4
Our word Easter comes from the old English word for their month which corresponds with April. Easter takes place on the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox on March 21. In the last 100 years Easter has been celebrated 78 times in April and only 22 times in March about 20%. Over time Easter came to be used by Christians to celebrate the resurrection of Christ which most often occurred in April.
In 1971 Bill Gaither wrote a song describing the resurrection: God sent his Son - they called him Jesus; he came to love, heal and forgive. He lived and died to buy my pardon; An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
DIVINE INTERVENTION - Empty tomb :1-4 Women :1 The first day of the week - Sunday after the Sabbath day of rest. Christians worship on Sunday instead of Saturday in remembrance of the resurrection of Christ from the dead who fulfilled all of the OT law so that we don't have to keep it anymore.
Mary Magdalene - Jesus had cast out seven demons (Luke 8:2).
Mary - not Jesus' mother, but the mother James and John (27:56).
Earthquake :2 Great earthquake - not an ordinary earthquake which had happened when Jesus died (27:51), but a violent earthquake which was accompanied by the angel of the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon - ''Death was going through an upheaval. When Christ awoke from the sleep of death, he shook the world.''
Angel :3 Appearance (KJB countenance) - refers to his whole being. He was very bright and shining while his clothes were pure white. He appearance gives us an image of what heaven will be like. Soldiers :4 Out of fear of seeing the angel, the soldiers were so frightened that they fainted. In the Scriptures when an angel appeared the people were usually troubled because they did not expect them. Zechariah was afraid when he saw an angel in the temple (Luke 1:12-13).
